This comprehensive review provides an in-depth exploration of foamed concrete, covering various dimensions of its production, properties, and sustainability considerations. The discus-sion commences with a broad overview of foamed concrete, delving into its typical constituents, including aggregates, water/cement ratio, foam agents, additives, and fibers. The subsequent examination of physic-mechanical properties encompasses critical factors such as compressive strength, flexural strengths, shrinkage, and workability, offering a comprehensive understanding of foamed concrete’s performance metrics.
As sustainability emerges as a pivotal theme, the document navigates through diverse strategies employed in foamed concrete production. It investigates the integration of alternative binders and the replacements of aggregates, presenting a holistic approach towards reducing envi-ronmental impact. The review further dissects sustainable practices within the realm of foamed concrete, including a meticulous exploration of lifecycle assessment and carbon footprint con-siderations, embodied energy aspects, insulation behavior, and the durability of the material. By synthesizing information from various sources, this abstract provides a comprehensive overview of foamed concrete, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of its composition, properties, and sustainability implications.
